Recent coverage of Online Casino Real Money NZ in the media
This week has seen The Online Casino Real Money NZ feature in a North & South article, and on Newshub late!
Newshub
Around Orientation this year I was approached by local journalist, Dave Goosselink of Newshub, regarding a story he had been wanting to publish for sometime about named student flats in Dunedin. After a couple of negative happenings around campus we decided to defer the story for a while. In April caught up for a chat on Howe Street and visited a couple of flats together, including Treasure Island and The Doll’s House, The Fridge, Pink Flat and The Boat
North & South
An other opportunity arose a while later when I met Guy Frederick, photojournalist and current Masters of Science Communications student at the University of Otago. We got chatting when he was photographing my friend Brendan Seal who runs the excellent local pop-up winery, URBN VINO, for NZ Life and Leisure.
Guy was interested in doing a story about the flat names project too, and that has resulted in a great article in the four corners section of North & South (p22-23) which features the flats Land of Pleasure and Mello Yello.
You can check out more media attention for the project here.

This is by no means complete – I need to do a comprehensive update of all my records, but it does link addresses with photos of named flats. Some are still in situ, many have long gone.
